- Ah. Well, as I recall from a Starlog interview Munro was to play a TARDIS
- engineer, apparently to be one of the Doctor's companions. Quite a switch,
- this. It will be nice to see the Brig back, tho. Any word on who's to be the
- Doctor (please pardon the pun)?

- *sigh* Unfortunately, this is all too true. Of course, the article I remember
- from Starlog was dated around 1988, I think. So perhaps we'll see the movie in
- the next year or two. It would make a pleasent change from all of these stupid
- hero flicks and soppy, over-emotional tear-jerkers and WAY STUPID teen flicks.
- OK, so where were all the good SF flix this summer? 8^)
